Keeping roaches away from drying dishes?

Question

I like to use a drying rack for my dishes...but I have a roach problem. They get in everything that isn't sealed. Is there any way to air-dry my dishes and protect them from the filthy, crawling vermin?

Answer 1

You need to take everything out of your cabinets, and bomb the house. Or call an exterminator. I had real bad roaches when I lived in a duplex because my neighbor was filthy. Everytime I bombed they would run back to her side for a week or so and come back. I had to get the owner to hire an exterminator when they finally moved. It also helps to put pine sol in all your drains and toilets. Anywhere that there is a water source. It poisons their water and they have to go elsewhere to drink. Make sure not to leave dirthy dishes in the sink overnight or food laying out. If you have a pet pick up their water dish and food bowl every night and wash and clean them. Don't put food back out until the next morning and then pick it back up after they eat. Good luck.

Ewwww... Try hand drying your dishes and putting them away immediately... Get some roach motels or try putting boric acid around the perimeter of the kitchen and behind appliances.. Just be careful of pets/children....
